Not exactly related to WW, but I have exterior doors with a flat copper
weatherstripping band that is about 1/25" wide. It is tacked into the
jamb about every inch or so.
It is cracked so I'd like to replace it, since it seems pretty
effective. However, I can't seem to locate a source for it. Anyone
know of any supplier that carries it?
The Borg carries it here.

Funnily enough, I asked a similar question a week or two ago. Attached is
my question and Mel's reply.

This is a flat strip you nail on and run a tool down to make
it bow outwards although I notice they also list some V-strip too.

Thanks. I didn't see it at my Borg here in No. Va.

Great. The former is what I need. I was googling on copper, not
bronze. I may be in Philly next month...
Thanks.

FYI, I ordered 2 rolls from this company on Monday. I received them today
(Wednesday) after charging me only $5 shipping. I highly recommend them.
Thanks.
